OK, you Guys.

Now I have to start watching rivets. While I've had all kinds of tools in my life, both while on the farm and professional driving, I've never owned anything with which to put in rivets.

On the farm, we used rivets to attach sickle blades to our combine header, but with that, one used a tool especially made for installing sickle rivets.

So, what do you all recommend for a rivet gun and sizes of rivets?

Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, I think the all-thread that I used was the 5/16 inch one. I could have used 1/4 inch, but it seemed more flimsy. One thing about drilling the hinge bracket, it was pretty darn hard steel. Either that or my drill bit needs to be sharpened or replaced. Even with my 1/2" drill, it took some doing to get them drilled.
